Your tasks

Your primary tasks are related to the education area with a particular focus on supporting the development and delivery of teaching in general medicine with base in SUND+ in Herning.

You will become a coordinating link between activities in Aarhus, SUND+ in Herning and at the Regions Hospital in Gødstrup, and you should expect to be present in the SUND+ building 2-3 days a week, varying in periods.

You will also take on a coordinating role in the collaboration with SUND Studier as well as employees and students from VIA University College (VIA) in SUND+. Your tasks thus encompass both development and operations, and you will be part of a professional, strong administrative environment. You will work closely with the institute's management, other colleagues and partners.

You create overview, and have a sense for detail in task solving as well as practical implementation of research-based teaching. You work structurally, execute and follow up, and do so in collaboration with administrative colleagues, scientific staff and the partnership circle in SUND+. The exact portfolio of tasks can be adjusted to some extent to your competences and experience. You report to the Secretariat Manager at the Institute of Public Health.

Your competences

We imagine that you have a relevant academic education, e.g., cand.scient.pol., cand.oecon., cand.scient.san., cand.merc. or similar. You have experience with and interest in supporting strategic initiatives, and can translate strategic goals into actions and processes. In addition you possess strong analytical competences, have good organizational understanding and good written and spoken communication skills in both Danish and English.

Experience with secretarial support and meeting preparation is an advantage, just as experience from public administration, preferably within the education or health sector, will be a strength.

As a person you work in a structured and responsible manner and have a natural ability to create overview, even when tasks are diverse. You take initiative, work independently and are solution-oriented in your approach to tasks. At the same time you are a strong team player who can build good relations across organizational levels and professional environments.
